Abstract (en)
An electrical coupling assembly has a receptacle portion (10) attached to an electrical connector element (14) and releasably attached to a housing (34), affixed to the opposite electrical connector portion (28), by engagement of a latching ball (36) on the housing (34) with a latching detent (20) on the receptacle (10). Axial movement of an operating sleeve (44), with respect to the housing (34) facilitates the coupling and decoupling of the housing (34) and the receptacle (10). The operating sleeve (44) is spring (56) biased to assume a position with respect to the housing (34) retaining the coupling portions together. A force exerted on a lanyard (62) attached to the sleeve (44) axially moves the sleeve with respect to the housing (34) to decouple the coupling elements. A lanyard guide ring (64) is attached to the housing (34) and has an opening through which the lanyard (62) passes such that the portion of the lanyard (62) extending between the guide ring (64) and the operating sleeve (44) extends in a generally axial direction, as well as the direction of force exerted on the sleeve (44) by the lanyard (62). The coupling includes a mechanism (38) for disengaging the electrical connector portions before allowing the coupling elements to separate.
